Sure do.

I miss playing Halo with my friends, spending hours taking the shortcut on Assault on the Control Room and trying to glitch the warthogs on Silent Cartographer. It was such a glorious time.

Also playing RO on private servers, enjoying all those stupid tuning racing games, starting to really get into the whole internet thing, arguing stupid shit on Nintendo forums, frequenting weird IRC chat rooms.

Best time to be alive but it only lasted until 2007 or so before the normie and fecesbook invasion.

my bad dude, I meant f2p. Basically the update that started the really steep decline in the tf2 community, the circlejerk over expensive backpacks, hats and items. People would sit and trade or show off their weapons instead of you know, just shooting the shit and playing the game.
CS:GO has no community except shitters. If there are community servers I'm not aware of them, and matchmaking has no actual semblance of community because you're only playing with people for like an hour or so at a time. You have very little chance of running into the same opponent twice unless you're in the top brackets.

Not true, at least in the US. The "right wing" back then were neocons (totally opposite alt-right though) and were fired up about Bush/re-election vs Kerry/Iraq War

If you made a criticism of the Iraq war or shat on Bush they would flip out and go full on "GET A BRAIN MORANS" on you, it was also the year Green Day released "American Idiot" and made them flip out

Also since the early internet was mostly secular average whites (Euros, Canucks, coastal Americans), I remember 2004 was the first time I started seeing bible-belt evangelicals pop up, and they'd flip out if evolution was mentioned. I have vivid memories of that, I think it was because bible-thumpers were later to get broadband and find out about the internet than regular folks

Not true. There are slightly more progressives than Gen X, but multiple times more far-right people than gen x. Pretty much all emergent right-wing parties are disproportionately young, like AfD and SD. This is entirely because the internet allowed right-wing ideas to spread for the first time, before that the mainstream media would never spread it.

Based on the stats I remember, progressives went from 40 to 50 ish percent from boomer/X to millenial, and right-wing went from near-nil to 15% which is a bigger gain.
>>
>>382687624
"Millennial is the name given to the generation born between 1982 and 2004. Also known as Generation Y (Gen Y), the Millennial generation follows Generation X and in terms of numbers, and has edged out the Baby Boomers as the biggest generation in American history."

My math isn't great, but I think 17 - 4 is 13.

I miss the mystery of the internet and watching it evolve into something insane over almost two decades, but I'd never return to my childhood.
I've always been a firm believer in "less is more" when it comes to media content and now that I can have anything I want anytime I want pulled up or done with the internet I almost hate that I can't get away.

I no longer enjoy doing anything off the internet, but I feel I've exhausted most of my entertainment from using computers too.

Actually I love very little of what capitalism has produced. I love people, and sometimes the art they make, and nature. All of those things exist independent of capitalism. Sometimes capitalism actively suppresses or destroys those things.

Do I get some enjoyment and utility out of some of the things capitalism has provided me with? Sure. But it's also allowed me to become disconnected from other people. Honestly I think if I could give it all up in exchange for being able to live in something that felt like a real community, with real, quality relationships with other people, I would be infinitely happier.
